Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a feedback method for intelligent metasurface time-correlation cascaded channels. Background Technology

[0002] In wireless communication, the ability of the base station to obtain correct channel state information directly affects the communication quality of the system. Since smart metasurfaces only reflect signals and lack signal processing capabilities, obtaining channel state information for cascaded channels is quite difficult. Furthermore, the sheer number of components within the smart metasurface itself exacerbates this challenge.

[0003] In existing technologies, methods for base stations to obtain channel state information (CSO) of intelligent metasurface cascaded channels mainly fall into two categories: channel estimation and channel feedback. Channel estimation is primarily used in time-division multiplexing systems, where the uplink channel can be estimated at the base station to obtain downlink CSO information due to channel reciprocity. However, in frequency-division multiplexing systems, since channel reciprocity does not hold, users need to obtain downlink CSO information and then provide feedback. This feedback process significantly occupies the channel and impacts communication quality. Therefore, it is necessary to compress the channel state information to reduce feedback overhead.

[0004] Current feedback methods do not meet the requirements of low complexity and high accuracy, and do not take into account the time correlation of cascaded channels. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] Example

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment presents a feedback method for time-dependent cascaded channels of smart metasurfaces, applicable to large-scale multiple-input multiple-output systems assisted by smart metasurfaces, used for feedback of time-varying smart metasurface cascaded channels. The method includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S1: Construct a reconfigurable smart metasurface-assisted multiple-input multiple-output communication system, including a base station (BS), a reconfigurable smart metasurface (RIS), and a single user terminal (UE). Determine the cascaded channel model of the system and establish a time-varying model of the cascaded channel.

[0049] Step S2: Construct a deep learning-based channel state information compression and recovery network model, including an encoder and a decoder; after the user terminal obtains the cascaded channel state information, it compresses the channel state information into codeword information through the encoder, and after the base station receives the codeword information, it uses the decoder to recover the codeword into cascaded channel state information.

[0050] The method of the present invention will now be described in detail.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the reconfigurable smart metasurface-assisted large-scale multiple-input multiple-output communication system in step S1 includes a base station, a reconfigurable smart metasurface, and a single user terminal. The base station includes multiple transmit antennas and multiple receive antennas, the smart metasurface includes multiple reflective elements, and the direct link between the base station and the user terminal is blocked by an obstacle. In this embodiment, the base station has M transmit antennas, the smart metasurface has N reflective elements, and the user terminal of the transmission system is a single user.

[0052] The cascaded channel state of this invention is time-varying. Because the user's movement speed is limited, the user's movement distance is limited within a short time (e.g., within the feedback interval), and the channel change is also limited. Assuming the user's movement speed is 360 kilometers per hour, the movement distance within one millisecond is only 0.1 meters. Therefore, the user's surrounding environment will not completely change. Since the channel state is determined by the propagation environment, the channel state information of adjacent time slots has a high correlation. Assuming the user can obtain perfect channel state information, in a time-varying scenario, a cascaded channel model and a time-varying cascaded channel model are established for the system:

[0053] The mathematical expression for the cascaded channel model of the system is:

[0054] G = diag(h) H )H

[0055] In the formula, G represents the cascaded channel, H represents the channel state information from the smart metasurface to the base station, and h H This represents the channel state information from the user terminal to the smart metasurface;

[0056] Cascaded channel time-varying model:

[0057] G t =(1-α) 2 )G t-1 +α 2 U(t)

[0058] Where α∈[0,1) represents the correlation coefficient, when α→1 it means the cascaded channel has no correlation, when α→0 it means the cascaded channel is a time-invariant channel; G t G t-1Let U(t) be the cascaded channel at time t and time t-1, respectively, and let U(t) be the noise.

[0059] The expression for the received signal y at the base station is:

[0060]

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] In the formula, h represents the channel state information from the user terminal to the smart metasurface, e is the phase shift matrix of the smart metasurface, H represents the channel state information from the smart metasurface to the base station, p represents the user's transmit power, v is the user's precoding vector, x is the information transmitted by the user, and n is the additive white Gaussian noise at the user; h is an N-row column vector, H is an N-row M-column matrix, e is an N-column row vector, and v is an M-row column vector; the superscript H indicates the conjugate transpose operation; ρ i and ξ i Let m(p) represent the path gain of the i-th path, and L1 and L2 represent the number of paths from the user to the smart metasurface and from the smart metasurface to the base station, respectively; 1, ,q 1, ), Let represent the transfer vector from the smart metasurface to the base station, the antenna array response of the i-th path, and the transfer vector from the user to the smart metasurface, respectively, with the following expressions:

[0064]

[0065]

[0066]

[0067] In the formula, n1∈{1,2,…,N1}, n2∈{1,2,…,N2}, m1∈{1,2,…,M}, N1 and N2 represent the number of elements in the smart metasurface in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, and M is the number of base station transmission antennas; and These are the normalized spatial azimuth and elevation angles of the intelligent metasurface, ranging from... Inside, α BR, β BR, These are the azimuth and elevation angles of the signal transmitted from the base station to the RIS, respectively. It is the normalized spatial azimuth of the base station, ranging from Inside, λ is the origin angle of the signal transmitted from the base station to the RIS; λ is the wavelength; d1 and d2 represent the distance between the smart metasurface elements and the antenna spacing at the base station, respectively. and These are the normalized spatial azimuth and elevation angles of the intelligent metasurface, respectively, and their ranges are all within... Inner; α RU, β RU, These are the azimuth and elevation angles of the signal originating from the RIS and being transmitted to the user.

[0068] This invention aims to improve the accuracy of channel state information (CSO) recovery after compression. It treats the cascaded channel as an image and constructs a neural network with an encoder and decoder. The input to the neural network is the CSO matrix of the cascaded channel. In this example, it is assumed that N = M = 32, and the CSO is divided into real and imaginary parts. The CSO information from four adjacent time slots is grouped together, resulting in an input matrix shape of 4 × 32 × 32 × 2. After the user obtains the cascaded CSO information, the encoder compresses it. Upon receiving the compressed codewords from the user, the base station uses a decoder to recover the cascaded CSO information from the codewords.

[0069] In the encoder, long short-term memory (LSTM) convolution is used to extract channel information. LSTM convolution is a variant of the LSM algorithm used to address the vanishing gradient problem of time series gradients as computation time increases. It transforms the calculation of weights from a linear operation to a convolution operation, inheriting the capabilities of the LSM algorithm to capture the temporal correlation of the channel while also describing and extracting local details from the channel features.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, the encoder includes a long short-term memory convolutional layer, a first reshaping module, and a feature compression module; wherein, the feature compression module includes a parallel long short-term memory module and a fully connected layer; after the user terminal obtains the cascaded channel state information, it is convolved by the long short-term memory convolutional module and converted into a matrix form, the matrix is ​​converted into a vector of length 2048 by the first reshaping module, and then the vector is compressed into a codeword of length M by the feature compression module.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the decoder includes a feature decompression module, a second reshaping module, and a refinement network connected in sequence. The feature decompression module includes a parallel long short-term memory module and a fully connected layer. After the base station receives the codeword information, it first uses the feature decompression module to recover it into a vector, and then the second reshaping module converts it into a matrix. After recovering it into matrix form, the recovered result needs to be input into the refinement network for feature recovery. The refinement network includes an attention convolution module, a batch normalization module, and a fully connected layer with Leaky ReLU activation function. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the recovered result needs to be processed by the refinement network twice for feature recovery.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, the attention-based convolution module includes an attention mechanism module and a separable convolution module. The attention mechanism originates from research on human vision. In cognitive science, due to information processing bottlenecks, humans selectively focus on some information while ignoring others. In channel state information, the density and importance of information vary; some information directly affects the recovery result, while the impact of other information is negligible. Therefore, an attention mechanism can be introduced to enhance the processing of some information while ignoring unimportant information, improving network performance while reducing information processing time.

[0073] Figure 6 and Figure 7 These are the normalized mean square errors of the recovery results at different compression ratios under the same correlation coefficient, and the normalized mean square errors of the recovery results at the same compression ratio under different correlation coefficients, respectively.

[0074] The attention mechanism module consists of a globally average pooling layer and two fully connected layers connected sequentially. The two fully connected layers are activated by the ReLU function and the Sigmoid function, respectively. The final result is multiplied by the feature map generated by the separable convolution. The separable convolution module comprises two steps: depthwise convolution and pointwise convolution. The depthwise convolution is a set of convolutions. When M feature maps are received, the depthwise convolution uses M 3x3x3 3D ​​convolutions to process these M feature maps separately. The pointwise convolution module is a 1x1x1 3D convolution of depth M. After receiving the feature maps processed by the depthwise convolution, the pointwise convolution processes the information at the same location in these M maps and generates N new feature maps. Compared to directly using 3D convolution, separable convolution improves network performance while reducing network parameters and complexity.

[0075] The system described in this example receives signals under Ricean channel and perfect channel state information conditions, and no errors occur during the process of feeding back cascaded channel state information at the user end.
